Lou,
I guess I don't understand why you ask for determinations on so many posts. Maybe I don't understand it because it's something I don't need myself, and I find it hard to understand the need for it in someone else, even if I try.I've come to accept that you *need* the determinations in some way, in order to understand the babble world better or to help yourself function here.
But honestly, I feel frustrated when I see so many requests for determinations. It makes me feel mentally exhausted, and it makes me feel worried for the posters whose posts are up for determination (since many have wrote that it distresses them).
I also personally feel that it's not really the best use of Dr. Bob's time to have to sort through the multiple determinations. Obviously that's MY feeling, not his. I can't speak for him and would not try. But it's MY feeling that I wish there were not be so many such posts.
So when I said that I hoped more posters would NOT start doing this, I meant it. Perhaps the language I used was rude (virus/etc.) I apologize if it was rude to you. However, whether the language was appropriate or not it still stated my true emotions and that has not changed. I really, really hope that more people do NOT start to ask for multiple determinations in the manner you do. While I understand, again, that you derive some sense of understanding from them, I *do* feel that the board would become overwhelmed if more people started to do this. And I hope that people do NOT take your lead on this and start asking for determinations in the same manner.
Again, I'm not trying to hurt your feelings, Lou. I'm trying to explain why I made the comment about more people making these kinds of posts.
Take care,
JenStar
